Travels With a Donkey in the Cevennes (Classic Reprint) Synopsis

Excerpt from Travels With a Donkey in the Cevennes

This child of my invention was nearly six feet square, exclusive of two triangular ?aps to serve as a pillow by night and as the top and bottom of the sack by day. I call it 'the sack, ' but it was never a sack by more than courtesy only a sort of long roll or sausage, green water proof cart-cloth without and blue sheep's fur within. It was commodious as a valise, warm and dry for a bed. There was luxurious turning room for one and at a pinch the thing 'might serve for two. I could bury myself in it up to the neck; for my head I trusted to a fur cap, with a hood to fold down over my ears and a band to pass under my nose like a respirator.
